More bugs

Living in Pune tip: Don't leave your porch light on overnight unless you really like bees.

Bee stings are one of those things that can grow mythic in the anticipation. I was old enough the last time I was stung that it wasn't traumatic. I recall gaining some perspective from the experience. But it's also been long enough now that, on a basal level, I'm just positive I would die of pain.
